My system plays that finally Work Game #3

I have Washington Wizards pending right now but I checked out something else tonight.

Portland vs Dallas
Line is now -5.00
Power rank prediction 11.35
My estimated line is off by 6 points and usually in situations like these I fade.
Gonna pound the road team tonight and go with

Dallas Mavericks

The power ranking I use is a formula I personally came up with which is a derivation of 4-5 power rating predictions.

I think playing the Mavs is a good call. The public is all over the Blazers and you are right Dallas should AT LEAST a 7.5 to 9 point dog.

I really like Portland tonight, but very suspicious of the -5 spread. I think it's going to be close.

GUNNER, welcome to the Rx NBA Forum

We always appreciate input from someone who is trying to apply some dedicated approaches.

====
Friendly feedback to "Dallas should be a seven to nine pt underdog:

Mavs are one of few NBA teams who score more than they allow when on the road (99-95)

And that road defense is one of tops in the league.

We're not taking a position save for considering a 3Q or 2H play based on how the first half plays out.

Best to everyone for an enjoyable late Christmas night game
